2 Catnip Forest By Kaia Millie was a grey tabby with bright cobalt eyes. One day she was wondering what to do on a cold winter day like this. She was wandering around the forest when she came to an aspen wood sign. The edges were dull and probably made around the 1900s. It seems impossible that it is still up. Millie sighed, It s so cold Wait a minute what s that say? she continued as she looked up at the aspen wood sign. The sign clearly said: Welcome to Catnip forest! She started padding throughout the snow and felt her paws feel numb. She thought that her paws would NEVER get warm again. Though she hadn t seen a village for miles she kept persistent. Soon, she found herself greeted with a small little village. The same aspen sign appeared only it seemed more new than the other one. She found herself walking up to the village gates where a light brown cat wearing a grey hood with a small sword on the brown cats belt. Millie coughed (which woke the brown cat up), Excuse me but where am I?

3 The brown cat opened one of her eyes revealing a bright mint colored eye, You don t know where you are? You must not be around these parts As the brown cat stared at Millie s collar she continued, I m Twinkie. Nice to meet you Twinkie. Millie smiled then went on, I m Millie. After they introduced each other Twinkie told Millie she was at Tuna lakes. A small village on the border of Catnip Forests. They walked through the small fishing town of Tuna lakes. The aroma lasted even when they continued walking without noticing where they were going finally Millie said something, Um, Twinkie are we lost? Of course not! I Twinkie then left his sentence without ending it and it left Millie so confused and then for minutes with sitting around thinking of a plan to get home Millie confessed, Twinkie Twinkie looked up at Millie, Yes Millie? What if I told you I used to have a human owner? Would your opinion of me change? Of course not Millie, listen for the past 30 minutes I ve known you Well I ve thought that you understand me and not even my parents do.

4 Millie was so misunderstood for her years as a kit and she met someone who think they understand them. Therefore, Millie and Twinkie would never lose this bond of friendship. Ever. 2 hours later after wandering around they were greeted with a large wall made of rock, gemstone and granite. Millie looked up, Woah, where are we now? Twinkie chuckled nervously, Well, I forgot to tell you, I m kind of in training and don t know where the heck we are. Millie s jaw dropped, Really? Yeah but look there s a sign! Twinkie s paw pointed to another sign but this sign was made of birch. The sun was gleaming on it as the snow covered half of the sign. They ran together and shoved the snow aside. The snow was a blanket but now the snow pushed off they could read a group of small letter which read: Welcome to Mouse Mountains! (Beware of rattlesnakes ) Millie s expression changed fast then she whispered to Twinkie, I have a phobia of snakes Me too, except I also have a phobia of spiders. With that said they started climbing the mountain Twinkie was an expert on climbing but Millie wasn t so much. Twinkie reached the top of the 50ft mountain. Millie almost slipped from the rock wall the sweat

5 coming out of her paws made the rocks slippery and harder to climb. Twinkie started shouted at Millie, You can do it! and You re almost there! Millie tried to keep this in her mind but she couldn t. She had to make it though she tried to persist every step, every paw and every rock filled her head with what would happen if she fell a 20ft drop. This cat didn t always land on her paws. She was almost there when her paw slipped. Twinkie grabbed her paw before Millie slipped. They had just made it to the top when they heard rattling. They immediately stopped in their tracks. W-what was that? Millie whispered Don t move What is it?! Millie was pacing around Twinkie at this point. I said don t move! Why not! Because you might get bit by a rattlesnake! RATTLESNAKE!! Yes rattlesnake now be quiet! The rattling got closer and closer. Every time they heard a hiss their fur stood up more and more. Until they were growling and waiting for the

6 rattlesnakes to attack. But after a few minutes the rattlesnakes stopped. As if something scared them off. Twinkie and Millie looked up and saw a black cat sitting with a rattlesnake is his or her mouth. They slowly walked up to the black cat. The black cat could only say persistence Millie asked, Why are you here? Persistence the black cat spoke Every time Millie asked a question the black cat said persistence. To this very day Millie and Twinkie remember this. Ever since then they have ALWAYS been persistent. To Be Continued
